Glazed buildings directly exposed to the sun become unbearably hot during summer and cold during winter. Huge amounts of energy are required to keep them comfortable. Application of thermal insulation such as Window films significantly reduces energy required for heating and cooling. A Window film can block a significant amount of the sun's heat, reducing the load on air conditioner for the buildings. In this study, a test wooden cabinet was built as a building simulation. The results of an experimental investigation aimed at assessing the performance of thin films windows in a wooden cabinet are presented. The research is performed under real weather conditions. Experimental tests are carried out as a function of time, and weather conditions. The data are integrated with spectrophotometric measurements. Concerning the environmental issues, the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to save in electrical energy by window film was calculated.
